Clinical Supervision.

🌱 Reflect. Grow. Sustain your practice.

Whether you’re a new graduate, a private practitioner, or a seasoned clinician navigating complex client work, high-quality supervision provides a safe and supportive space to reflect, learn, and evolve in your professional identity.

At Wellwise OT, I offer evidence-informed clinical supervision that nurtures your skills, supports your wellbeing, and helps you stay grounded and connected in your practice.

🤝 What You Can Expect

My supervision approach is:

  • Relational and collaborative: We co-create a space where you feel safe to bring challenges, questions, and moments of uncertainty.

  • Evidence-based and reflective: Grounded in supervision models like proctor’s three-function model (normative, formative, restorative) and informed by adult learning theory, trauma-informed practice, and the latest in mental health OT research.

  • Neurodivergent-affirming and inclusive: Space to explore practice through a neurodiversity, sensory, or identity-aware lens.

  • Whole-person centred: Supporting your professional development alongside your wellbeing and sustainability as a human in helping work.

  • Informed by lived experience: My approach is shaped by personal insight into neurodivergence, disability, mental health, and recovery-oriented care.

  • Grounded in teaching experience: I bring academic knowledge and practical insight from my Lecturer and Clinical Educator roles at Griffith University and Bond University, helping bridge theory and practice.

🧠 Areas of Focus May Include:

  • Clinical reasoning and reflective practice

  • Mental health OT frameworks (e.g. PEO, sensory integration, trauma-informed care)

  • Goal setting and therapeutic use of self

  • Navigating complex client needs (e.g. neurodivergence, trauma, burnout)

  • Private practice considerations (documentation, boundaries, caseload flow)

  • Evidence-based interventions and capacity building

  • Integrating yoga, mindfulness, or creative practices into OT ethically and effectively

  • Self-care, burnout prevention, and professional identity

📚 Why Supervision Matters

“Supervision is not a luxury—it’s a cornerstone of ethical, sustainable practice.”

Research consistently shows that effective clinical supervision:

  • Improves therapist confidence and clinical decision-making

  • Reduces burnout and compassion fatigue (Kilminster & Jolly, 2000; Snowdon et al., 2017)

  • Enhances outcomes for clients by supporting best-practice, reflective care

  • Promotes continuous professional growth and emotional safety

In allied health and occupational therapy, supervision is considered best practice across all career stages.
